These phenomena may be caused by the condition where learning discussion on social media is more flexibility and relax than face to face interactions.Students don't face same turn-taking constraints: opportunities to have floor are balanced and visual record of language interaction helps them negotiate meaning.Choices made in online interactions encourage future participation because online "conversations" are different in some ways, social media provide excellent models for how language is actually used.Students see authentic language ranging from casual conversation to academic discourse.
